Famous quotes containing the word harsh:
“A tree is beautiful, but whats more, it has a right to life; like water, the sun and the stars, it is essential. Life on earth is inconceivable without trees. Forests create climate, climate influences peoples character, and so on and so forth. There can be neither civilization nor happiness if forests crash down under the axe, if the climate is harsh and severe, if people are also harsh and severe.... What a terrible future!”
—Anton Pavlovich Chekhov (18601904)
“till disproportiond sin
Jarrd against natures chime, and with harsh din
Broke the fair musick that all creatures made
To their great Lord, whose love their motion swayd
In perfect Diapason, whilst they stood
In first obedience, and their state of good.”
—John Milton (16081674)
“Master, I knew that you were a harsh man, reaping where you did not sow, and gathering where you did not scatter seed...”
—Bible: New Testament, Matthew 25:24,25.
